Ben più accessibile del primo nebuloso volume della saga della Torre Nera, La chiamata dei tre restituisce al personaggio di Roland una dimensione umana che ce lo avvicina molto. I suoi comprimari sono piacevoli e tridimensionali, e averli trovati arricchisce la vicenda. Rimane il respiro epico che immagino troverò fino alla fine e che devo imparare ad amare.

I keep reading Stephen King because he's a hell of a storyteller. This story is GOOD. The writing is compelling, the pacing keeps you wanting to turn the pages, and the characters give you whiplash rooting for and against them. 

That being said, I didn't love the first book in the series, but am glad I continued.

However, this book is dated in a lot of ways. There are outdated slurs of all kinds and horrible ableist language. This is hard to overlook, despite the book's publishing date. I can forgive some of it, but not all of it.

Overall, I had a great time reading this and will continue reading the series over time

Cringed a lot for unnecessary use of n slur in the book. Plus it seems that S. King didn't do very good research about mental disorders because Odetta doesn't have schizophrenia, she has DID. Other than that it was better than the first book.
